The mighty Eagle Pass Little League Majors (12 Under) Softball All-Stars garnered the Little League Texas West-Section 3 Tournament Championship by crushing the potent San Antonio McAlister Park All-Stars 10-1 on Saturday, July 12, 2014, at the Leo “Merle” Brown Field at Fort Duncan Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, behind a command pitching performance by ace pitcher Ariana Soto and solid defensive play.

The Eagle Pass All-Stars exploded for 10 big runs against the solid pitching corps of McAlister Park while the infield of catcher Briana Soto, first baseman Kaylynne Ruiz, second baseman Ashley Urbina, shortstop Lee Ann Dunn, and third baseman Leslie Martinez backed up hurler Ariana Soto in limiting McAlister Park to only one run in the bottom of the sixth inning.
